Dude! You lost 6 knights to a rabble. I would pissed. Wait... Did they have their proper gear?

Well, they got plate and swords, not sure about the horses. Most of me was sure they would be able to do it, some of me was interested in their limits, I took another village with them no problem, but this one had hidden defenders I couldn't have known about, and it was the only unit that character had so it was either that or do nothing. In any case, now we know.

Where did you get the plate? Briseidh? That looks like the results of chainmail or less. The archers ought to be using improvised weapons in melee, so in essence, you were fighting 8 spearmen. The results don't look right.

Yeah, got plate from Briseidh. Ok so I've checked, all 6 had swords and plate armour but no horse. All 6 were uninjured and such, but also at 0 xp, those were all the forces they fought. Guess I was mighty unlucky, not only with the 1 spearman that survived and defended the village, but also with 2 knights killed and 4 wounded, of the 4 wounded 2 survived, they have 9 xp each now. Morale of the story, knights without horses seem iffy.

Attack that place again.  You should be able to win this time.  So we're gonna make Briseadh some super giant town?  Sounds good to me, I'll start making demands of all the nearby nobles to start beefing it up with food.

[Gervassen]

Briseadh will be our mega-project.

Well, I couldn't attack that 1 spearman because I had no battle able men, so went back to the previous village and got 50 peasants. Gonna go back to take it this turn. Also I got like 30 hunters ready in a few turns so I can start taking them barely defended villages around. Gonna send food towards Briseadh too.

They might have fought veteran troops, for all we know they were wearing plate mail.

Also 2 knights was killed from arrows before they could engage.

Solution: More meat shields!

But good to know that knights alone aren't that good.


Fake EDIT: @ Brotato: sounds good to me

Yeah that was totally a strategic brainfart on my part, should have taken like a 100 peasants along for the ride. Then again that village had like 2 peasants defending it, and a hidden noble unfortunately. Well, better we find this shit out in alpha then release, knights are mere men like you and I turns out....

Crouching peasants, hidden noble?

Exactly, its pretty funny how we can omnipresently tell what militia a village on the other side of the world has, yet have no way of determining what army a noble 50 meters away commands, add to that the ridiculously close villages and no reaction queue actions and we get "Peek-A-Boo Medieval Domination: The Game".

When I first looked at this I was like: "meh", but something about has demanded my interest!

[Shooer]

Pericolo would gladly join in the Bay 12 alliance.  For the glory of the west!

Read this link, man.  If you submit a really short video for Tom he'll give you an invite code.

@Shooer,  Glad to have you!  Will you be willing to send food toward Briseadh?  We need to make it as big as possible before the alpha ends.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Hm, well i'll totally get on that. In the mean time i'll post in the invite thread!

I'm excited to play this, I enjoyed BM, but just couldn't get into it indefinitely, but this new game looks different so ya. What nation are we anyhow?

[Brotato]

We currently encompass three nations: Crionacht (My kingdom)  Zahringen (Gervassen's land) and Pericolo (Shooer's country)
